Editing 60fps

[Bkfilms1]

I have footage I shot at 60fps..I dont want the whole video in slow motion..What is the best process to edit this on a 24fps timeline at normal speed? Thank you for your help..

When I drop the 60fps clip onto the 24fps time line after conforming it, it plays back audio and video in slo-mo...what is correct speed for normal playback

You may be trying too hard - are you saying you interpreted the footage as 24fps? Not necessary - drop the original 60p clip into any timeline (24p, 30p, 60p) and it will always play "real time" without messing with it. Premiere has some intelligence to do that.

Change the clip back to original frame rate (59.94) and then put in the 23.976 sequence. If there are any parts of the clip that you do want to slow down, then change Speed/Duration as desired.

Thanks

Thank you very much for your help..I originally set up my timeline at 60fps sequence and when i export it at 24fps its very choppy and dark..I dont think I can change the sequence setting to correct 24fps. Do i have to start a whole new sequence at 24fps in order to get it to playback smoothly?..Thanks again

You do not have to re-edit. Create a New Sequence that is 24p. In the 60p sequence, CTRL-A to Select All, CTRL-C to Copy, then go into the 24p sequence and Paste (CTRL-V). This will copy all the clips and edits to the new sequence.

Thanks

Got it!..So when I export it at 24fps is there anything i should do make it come out smooth ex frame blending etc.?

Just by its nature, any motion (camera or subject) in a 24p clip will look choppier than in a 30 or 60fps clip. I actually never use 24p for anything, so don't have experience in the conversion process. What is the reason you are using 24p? If you want nice slow-motion, the 30p sequence will give you that at 50%, with the benefit of the 60p converting quite nicely to 30p since it just plays every other frame of the source clip. When going to 24p, the frames don't divide evenly so there is a pattern to the frames that get skipped that may add to the look you are not liking.

I believe Frame Blending would add a sort of blur between frames, probably not the answer.

Thanks

cant you just change your existing sequence settings from 60fps to 24fps, without needing to control A control V onto a new 24fps sequence?
